Federer had been favourite to lift a ninth title but will now only be able to watch Sunday's final, where his great rival Rafael Nadal is expected to be one of the combatants.

That initial burst gave Federer 34 successive sets won at Wimbledon, equalling his own record set between 2005 and 2006.

In a stunning turnaround in an unfamiliar setting - Court No. 1 instead of Centre Court - the No. 1-seeded Federer blew a match point and, eventually, all of a big lead in a 2-6, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4, 13-11 loss to No. 8 Kevin Anderson on Wednesday. 'Against Anderson he has won all four matches and never dropped a set, so I expect him to comfortably get through.

Anderson held his nerve with his relentless and powerful serve win the fourth and send the rip-roaring contest into an unlikely fifth and deciding set.

Meanwhile Novak Djokovic ended his near two-year absence from grand slam semi-finals by booking a place in the last four at Wimbledon.

"By the end I thought I did a great job not thinking about what was happening".

Ramos then hit Djokovic with a time violation warning for taking too long to serve in the seventh game of the fourth set. "It's not like I would have remembered exactly how it would have felt", Federer said.

Anderson is the first South African man to make the last four at Wimbledon since Kevin Curren in 1983.
